Hi Scouser, Thanks for the compliment. The shocks are Hot Bodies threaded aluminum for a t-maxx ($18 a pair through RCBoyz.com). I had to adjust the travel on the front cylinders with fuel tubing but the rears went on just fine. I used a fairly soft Hot Bodies spring with 40 wt silicone shock fluid all the way around. I used the FFS006 long aluminum pivot balls to mount the shocks to the stock towers. I just had to dremel the ball end down to fit the Hot Bodies shock caps. Kinda tedious but worth the effort. The pipe is the CEN Aluminum hop-up from stock. Really didn't notice a performance difference but it looks cool. The New Era roll-bar was worth every penny. It stiffened the chassis and gives a great place to grab the truck and sling it across the yard when the spur gear strips out. Just Kidding. It is a must have. I put a hop-up cooling head on it but never could get the motor right with it installed so I switched back. A couple of other add ons were Hitec 325HB throttle servo, Hitec 5625MG Digital steering servo, chrome CEN rims, metal brake disk w/plug and an Airtronics MX-3 setup. Getting the digger body to fit in the rear took some rigging. I used plastic gutter spike covers to join two stock body posts together and make a long one. It actually works quite well and was easy to do. This truck just sold on ebay. Got kinda expensive keeping it, my T-maxx and my Genesis going. It had to go. I think the Genesis is next! My wallet is telling me electric is the way to go. Thanks again to everybody who shares information in this forum. It has been a great help to me and I'm sure many others!
